This morning, some new Motorola RAZR3 pictures and video were spotted online. A couple minutes ago, a new batch of photos have hit the web. As you can see the 5MP camera is evident and it is used as a front-facing camera when the phone is open. When it's closed you can use it as a normal (back-facing) camera, thanks to the camera shutter button on the outer lid.

So Intel is looking to launch their Core i5-520UM ULV CPU this June and MSI will be getting first dibs on it. MSI plans to launch their X-Slim X360 notebook this June / July and it'll use this CPU along with what we heard back in March. The price is set to be somewhere between $700 - $900 and it will apparently last 7 - 8 hours if you choose the 8-cell battery option.

Intel is set to launch another one of their low-voltage mobile CPU in Q4 of this year. This will be the Core i7-660LV CPU and it'll be clocked at 2.26GHz. It'll be hitting the market in Q4 of this year and can be clocked to 3.06GHz thanks to Turbo Boost. Of course, it has support for DDR3 RAM and has 4MB of cache memory.

Asus' CEO, Jerry Shen, has gave his input on the tablet market and said that netbooks will still outsell tablets. He also mentioned that without Apple, the whole tablet business wouldn't be where its at today - which is true. So, how about that Eee tablet on theirs? Shen mentioned that they are going to unveil it at Computex this June and the first tablet will actually be running on Microsoft software - so it won't be Android. Apparently, it'll be powered with an Intel CPU, Tegra 2 graphics, and possibly Windows CE. I was hoping for Android, but maybe we'll have to wait for the second-gen tablet.

Another Samsung handset is headed to Verizon and it's the U460, possibly the successor to the Intensity U450. This handset has already passed the FCC and the Bluetooth SIG. It packs a 1.3MP camera, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, CDMA 1x connectivity, and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR support. Sadly, it's not a much of an improvement. This shouldn't be expensive whenever it hits the carrier.

It looks like AT&T is set to launch a couple of new handsets in the near future since the Palm Pre Plus and Pantech Breeze (as the Breeze 2) dummy units have just been spotted in some retail stores. Engadget points out that AT&T should release both of these handsets ASAP since they're about to be obsolete. The prices weren't mentioned, but neither of them should be expensive.

It looks like Vodafone has just released another handset running on Windows Mobile. This time it's the HTC HD Mini which is available on their website (here) for free on a 2-year contract with a £25 monthly fee or on an 18-month contract with a £30 monthly fee.

It looks like the Samsung S5620 is going to be getting a new Iron Man 2 Edition on May 1st (Saturday). It's sporting a new black and yellow body and features a microSD card with the original Iron Man movie along with some exclusive Iron Man 2 content. Of course, the specs for the handset are still the same so it features a 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen display, WiFi b/g support, Bluetooth 2.1 support, 3G / GPS support, a 3.2MP camera, and the Touchwiz UI. This handset will be available on O2 in the UK for free on select contracts.

Acer's TimelineX Series of notebooks has just been priced over in Europe. The 13.3-inch TimelineX 1830T is set to launch sometime in early July for €549 ($731 USD), the 13.3-inch 3820T is priced at €699 ($931 USD), and both the 14-inch 4820T and the 15.6-inch 5820T will be priced at €749 ($997 USD). The price may sound good, but the specs have actually improved since the last time we heard about them. The TimelineX 1830T notebook is now featuring Intel Core i3 / i5 CPU options and the other three models feature Core i3 / i5 / i7 CPU options.

The release date on the 3820T, 4820T, and the 5820T is still unknown, but they should be available soon after the 1830T notebook.

On Tuesday, May 4th, Canada's Rogers will be doing their usual price cut fiasco. This time around the handsets are the BlackBerry Curve 8330, the Pearl 8110, the Pearl Flip 8230, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, and the Nokia E71. All of these handsets will be available for $9.99 on a 3-year contract where the data plan is required. The LG Xenon, Nokia 5310, and Nokia 6750 will also be getting their own price cuts.

Apparently the eviGoup Wallet MID running Android is set to hit the market in May (which starts tomorrow) for €199 ($264 USD). This MID has reportedly hit the factory and should be ready for a launch over the next couple of weeks. The sad part about all of this is that when the company tried to contact Google they got nothing back, so there appears to be no access to the Android Market.

It looks like Buy is taking pre-orders on a couple of handset right now. You can pre-order three handsets - from each of the three major carriers - for a $50 in-store deposit. I'm talking about Bell's Motorola DEXT, the Rogers Motorola Quench, and the Telus BlackBerry Pearl (9100) 3G. Check them out on Best Buy's website here.

So much for the Motorola RAZR3 being cancelled. It has apparently just leaked out and it's even spotted on a video (below) - but it's just a prototype for now. This [flip phone] handset packs a shiny silver body and features an external touchscreen display, a 5MP a camera with an LED flash, and GPS support. They should change the name though seeing how it's not sharp on its edges like the RAZR is supposed to be. Instead, they rounded out the edges here, so it won't be slicing through anything in the commercials. The release date is unknown right now.

Apparently, the Samsung Galaxy 3 has just been spotted thanks to a UA Profile. Unfortunately, it looks like whatever this handset is (the Samsung i5800 / i5801) it'll be packing a weird 240 x 480 resolution along with Android. Maybe it's like a light version of a current Samsung Galaxy, but nothing is really known right now. This same handset has already gotten a WiFi Alliance certificate along with a Bluetooth SIG filing - it has Bluetooth 3.0 on board. More specs and details on this handset should spill out soon.

The WiFi Alliance has just granted the Motorola MB810 some access today. The filing is here and apparently this is going to be the heavily rumoured and specced Motorola Shadow. This handset features WiFi b/g/n and has CDMA / EV-DO connectivity. Rumoured specs are said to be a 4.3-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, an 8MP AF camera, and Android 2.2 (Froyo).

Update: According to Phandroid, the list of rumoured specs are below - as well as some possibly pictures of said device.

On WIND Mobile's website (here) they are selling a new handset. It's clearly the Huawei U1250 and it's going for $70.00 contract-free. This handset packs entry level specs, such as: a 2-inch display with a 240 x 320 resolution, a 2MP camera, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an FM radio, and a microSD card slot.

Not much to tell you here that the title doesn't say. Newegg (here) is now shipping the Asus Eee PC 1005PR netbook if you ordered one for $399.99. Shipping is free and the netbook itself packs a 10.1-inch display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution along with the Broadcom Crystal HD card so that you'll be able to play 1080p videos easily.

Samsung has just mentioned that they plan to launch 32 and 37-inch 3DTVs sometime in 2011. This is actually quite a big deal seeing how the smallest 3DTV they have is a 40-inch model and it's also the cheapest 3DTV to-date. This means that we'll be getting even cheaper 3DTVs in 2011, which makes sense of course. These 3DTVs are expected to use 200Hz technology to reduce flicker, offer brighter colours and, overall, better picture quality.

Hopefully, they're planning to launch 3DTVs in 2011 without the need of glasses too. They should put that Parallax display technology to good use.

Apparently, at Google I/O next month (May 19th) they'll be unveiled their joint project with Intel, Logitech, and Sony which is possibly codenamed "Dragonpoint". Apparently, Sony will be bundling their HDTVs and Blu-ray players with Google's Android OS. These Google TVs will pack an Intel (possibly Atom) CPU along with a some sort of Logitech remote thrown into the mix. Full details are, of course, still unknown right now but if the rumour is true then we'll find out in less than a month's time.

One of Boy Genius's sources has just spilled some valuable information if you're looking to jump onto their network soon. Apparently on May 6th Verizon will begin their pre-sale for the Microsoft Kin One and the Kin Two. Later on in May, Verizon expects to release the BlackBerry Bold 9650. Verizon is also gearing up to launch two LG phones, the Fathom and the Aloha (C710). The Fathom is expected to be a handset running on Windows Mobile 6.5 with a touchscreen display and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, while the C710 Aloha (which we heard of before) will feature a WVGA display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 5MP camera, a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, and Android 2.1.

Update: According to Phone Arena, the LG Aloha has been renamed to the LG Ally.

Update: According to Unwired View, both the Ally (Aloha) and the Fathom are headed to Verizon sometime in May. The Ally is supposedly a variant of the LU2300.

Update: It looks like the LU2300 won't be the LG Ally since there's a new video that has just been spotted on YouTube that suggests otherwise. Engadgetspotted it and it's below, so check it out.

Update: According to Engadget, they've confirmed that Verizon will be taking pre-orders for the Kin One and the Kin Two. It'll be shipping on May 13th.

Shuttle has just unveiled their latest desktop PC and it's packing quite a punch. Named the J3, this desktop packs an Intel Core i7-980X Gulftown CPU along with Nvidia's GeForce GTX 480 graphics. That's the only thing that Shuttle mentioned about this desktop PC of theirs but I'm sure that we'll see this at Computex which takes place in June. Let's wait for the benchmarks.

It was a a sad day for tablets yesterday and I wasn't able to blog about it until today. According to Gizmodo's sources the Microsoft Courier, which a bunch of people were waiting for, has been cancelled. This is really sad news considering that this could have been classified as the iPad killer for some people out there - although I doubt that the Courier would've sold as many units as the iPad. Oh well, maybe it'll come to life one day but don't count on it.

Apparently, the other tablet that was cancelled is the HP Slate. Of course, if you think about it this is actually good news since the initial reviews for the Slate weren't so good. This tablet was scheduled to run Windows 7, but that's no longer the case. Of course, HP bought Palm (for $1.2 billion) two days ago so let's think about this. HP could be prepping a tablet running on WebOS which would be much better than a tablet running on Windows 7, but let's hope that they can get some developers on board so that their app store gets a couple thousand more apps. Oh well, at least there's still the HP Android tablet to look out for.

Update: According to a newer Slash Gear post, HP could still be planning to launch the Slate with Windows 7 so don't rule out the possibility of this hitting the market. A source from HP said that it's "very, very improbable if not even an impossible piece of news" regarding the fact that the Slate running Windows 7 is cancelled.

Packard Bell has just unveiled their Easynote TM Series of notebooks. This notebook will pack a 15.6-inch display, up to 8GB of RAM, an Intel Core i3 CPU, up to a 640GB HDD, a card reader, ATI / Nvidia discrete graphics, and Windows 7. In early May the silver model will be available and the other colours will be available starting in the latter half of July. This notebook will be priced at £550 ($843 USD).

Later today, Apple will be closing their stores across the nation from 4-5PM. That's because they're gearing up for their iPad 3G launch which will take place after that. Be sure to line-up early if you want to get one because most of them are probably pre-ordered by now.

More photos of the BlackBerry Atlas (8980) and the funny looking BlackBerry 9670 have just been spotted on CrackBerry's forums. No other details have been mentioned, but it's clear that the Atlas was sporting BB OS 5.0, while the 9670 was sporting BB OS 6.0 again.

Update:Slash Gear has just mentioned that the BB 9670 will be a Verizon exclusive. It's likely set for a Q3 release since OS 6 is launching in Q3.

Update: According to Phone Arena, this handset will also be hitting Vodafone over in Europe.

Last week, the Asus Eee PC 900AX netbook popped up but we knew nothing about. A week later, we know everything about it. It'll be packing last year's Atom N270 1.6GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB HDD, and an 8.9-inch display with a 1,024 x 600 resolution. Of course, it'll also have WiFi b/g support, a 0.3MP webcam, VGA / two USB ports, a card reader, audio jacks, a 4-cell battery, and Windows XP.

Rogers just wanted to remind all of us Canadians that the Acer Liquid E handset is on the way. This handset packs a 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen display, a 5MP camera, a 768MHz Snapdragon CPU, and thankfully Android 2.1. This handset is expected to launch sometime this Spring so that could be any day now...

Another MacBook Pro clone, obviously from the other side of the world. This one's the Shenzhen Dragonfly QT Pro notebook and it's actually packing a decent spec sheet. It has a 14-inch display with a 1,366 x 768 resolution, an Intel Atom D410 1.66GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, Nvidia's Ion 2 [switchable] graphics, a 160GB HDD, WiFi b/g/n support, and an HDMI port. It's also got an aluminum body which isn't bad. The sad part about all of this is that you'll only get 2 hours of battery life from this notebook.

Verizon may be out of the HTC DROID Incredible, but look no further than Amazon. Whenever they get their stock they're going to be offering the handset for $149.99 ($50 cheaper than Verizon) on a 2-year contract. This is a great deal, seeing how the handset just went live on Verizon's website yesterday. Check it out here.
